Our team met for the first time this January at the Rotary International Group Study Exchange Orientation Weekend in High Point, North Carolina. Over the weekend, our team was able to bond and develop an idea of the journey we would be embarking on in May. The weekend was filled with wonderful presentations given by past Group Study Exchange participants and Rotary members, as well as Ambassadorial Scholars. We were all very excited about the trip by the time we left High Point and have continued to meet monthly ever since.
Over the past months, our team has met at the Rotary District 7600 Central Office in Williamsburg, Virginia. This is a great meeting point, as it is situated halfway between Richmond and Hampton Roads. Two of our members, Katie and Alex are from Newport News and Virginia Beach. Three of our members, Stephen, Jamie and Angie, are from the Richmond area.
During our meetings we have studied German history, the German language, prepared for our presentations at our host Rotary Clubs in Germany, and discussed the fine details of our exchange. With three weeks remaining, we are all very excited about arriving in Germany and connecting with our hosts!
